CONCORD, N.H. — Continuing with its efforts to build literacy knowledge, the New Hampshire Department of Education is partnering with Credentials Unlimited to provide educators with the opportunity to earn micro-credentials focused on the science of reading.
Through the collaboration, the department aims to empower educators with the knowledge and skills to implement evidence-based reading practices in their classrooms. By earning a micro-credential in the science of reading, educators can enhance their professional growth, improve their teaching technique and ultimately make a profound impact on their students’ literacy development.
“New Hampshire children need strong literacy skills, which are essential to become lifelong learners. To assist students in their reading journey, it is essential that our educators have the supports needed to improve reading and writing outcomes for their students, and that they understand how to apply evidence-based skills and concepts confidently and seamlessly,” said Frank Edelblut, education commissioner.
The micro-credentials provided by the department and Credentials Unlimited are at no cost to New Hampshire educators and are aligned with the Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading set forth by the International Dyslexia Association.
This program is specifically tailored to participants who are enrolled in Education Department’s Leaning Into Literacy LETRS professional development program and who successfully complete the Pearson Reading Exam.
